Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 693 - 423 Barter Trade_3

Xue Chuchu was bewildered, "Why is it different from what I expected?"

Coated with oil, Jiang Ning ventured into the fields, picked up a fist-sized clod of earth.

Xue Yuantong led Chuchu as they retreated.

"Go you!" Jiang Ning hurled it, and the earth clod instantly flew out, accurately striking the wasps’ hive.

"Bang!" The earth clod shattered and sprayed apart, the wasps’ hive took a fatal hit, fell from the tree with a spectacular display.

The next second, the swarm of enraged wasps came buzzing over, their presence overwhelming, the "buzzing" sound echoing in the ears.

Such terror chilled the hearts of Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong.

Jiang Ning calmly pressed his lighter, and set one end of the nunchaku on fire, the flames roaring to life.

Jiang Ning grasped the nunchaku, his wrists flicking, the burning nunchaku spun, its speed gradually increasing, forming a large ring of fire!

Xue Yuantong watched as Jiang Ning danced with the fire ring, charging forward to meet the oncoming wasps.

The wasps that swept in were hit by the ring of flames and were so fragile that they were instantly incinerated.

Jiang Ning danced valiantly, the speed of the nunchaku’s rotation was so fast that the flames joined into a barrier, the dazzling ring of fire bloomed in the sunset, too beautiful to describe.

If someone was close enough, they could clearly see in the watery eyes of Xue Yuantong and Xue Chuchu, the reflection of the red flames.

The wasps scorched by the flames fell crisply to the ground, while the remaining wasps still fearlessly attacked.

Concerned about not killing them all, Jiang Ning urged his Spiritual Power and called all the wasps out of the hive to burn them for a full minute, and the ground where he landed was covered with wasp corpses.

Jiang Ning tossed the nunchaku aside.

Xue Yuantong hurried over with uncontainable joy, "Jiang Ning, you’re so awesome!"

Unusually, perhaps due to the heat from the raincoat or the high temperature of the flames, her cheeks were flushed red.

Xue Yuantong took out a tissue, tiptoed to wipe the sweat off Jiang Ning, guessing he must be hot. After wiping his forehead and finding no sweat, Yuantong withdrew the tissue in disappointment.

Xue Chuchu held a cup of honey lemon water, too shy to offer it.

Jiang Ning stepped on the wasps littering the ground, producing a series of odd crunches, he picked up the wasps’ hive, and with Divine Sense, he examined it, satisfied, he said:

"There is good stuff inside this."

Carrying the spoils of war, Jiang Ning led the two logisticians back in triumph.

Uncle Zhang, who had just finished a call and learned that Dongdong was alright, finally felt relieved.

He came over to join the excitement and saw the wasps’ hive in Jiang Ning’s hands, his face twitched, he stepped back in shock,

"You kid, you stirred up a wasps’ nest?"

Xue Yuantong said, "Of course! Jiang Ning burned all the wasps, this is our spoils of war."

Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks, tore open the hive, revealing densely packed holes with larva-like pupae inside, some still writhing, a stark visual impact.

Xue Chuchu couldn’t bear to watch, a bit afraid of this.

Yuantong found it striking as well.

On the contrary, Uncle Zhang’s eyes lit up, excitedly rubbing his hands, "Xiao Jiang, could you let me have the hive?"

Jiang Ning halted his task, staring at him directly.

Fried wasp pupae was a rather nice dish, hardly accessible to most people. Uncle Zhang had tried them before, golden and crispy after frying, tender on the inside, not to mention delicious!

But the thing was hard to obtain, and expensive, let alone wild ones.

Uncle Zhang knew the drill, he quickly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you take a loss, I’ve got five or six pounds of pork ribs at home, top-notch, the most expensive part of the pig!"

"I’ll trade the ribs for it, deal?"

Uncle Zhang was indeed craving it.

Jiang Ning consulted Tongtong’s opinion.

Xue Yuantong, afraid of the wasp pupae, said, "Okay, let’s trade."

Uncle Zhang was thrilled, he brought the ribs over, then left with the hive cradled in his arms.

Xue Yuantong was all smiles, "Let’s go, we’ll fry up some ribs to eat!"

Xue Chuchu stared at a basin full of ribs, finding it absurd.
